What to do and see in Sunndal Municipality, Western Norway: The Best Nature & Parks

Innerdalen has frequently been called Norway's most beautiful mountain valley. Drive the RV 70 road between Sunndalsora and Tingvoll, turn off at Alvundeid and head in to Nerdal. Park your car and enjoy the hour it takes you to stroll the four kilometres in to the heart of the Innerdalen valley. The valley resembles a cathedral, dominated by the 1,452 metre mountain Innerdalstarnet (Means; The tower of Innerdalen walley), which towers over the valley like a natural spire. A crystal clear lake sparkles on the valley floor and streams and small rivers cascade down from the glaciers above. A network of marked paths takes you out of the valley and into the mountains, where Renndolsetra summer pasture farm lies ready to welcome you with traditional fare and farm animals. Further into the mountains, you come to the Innerdalshyttene cabins, one old and one new cabin, which are run by the Norwegian Mountain Hiking Association and which have long been used as a stopping place, and a place to eat and stay overnight by travellers in the mountains.
